Put simply, pre-dist EQ will change the clipping character of the distortion, but post-dist eq will only shapes the already-distorted sound. Post-dist EQ can not have any effect on how the distortion is clipped, because it follows the distortion. For instance a pre-dist EQ boost at 3kHz would result in the distortion stage clipping the 1kHz region more than the rest of the signal. Putting the EQ before the distortion is completely different to EQ after distortion. This post finishes our look at distortion and introduces EQ by focusing on using EQ to ‘voice’ the distortion. Pickups all have their own EQ curves, and amplifiers have distinct mid-scoops which affect the final tone, and also there is the response curve of the speaker which rolls off the upper frequencies. There are many ways of using EQ to enhance tone.
